A Below-Average Place to Work - Engineer Senior Staff Lockheed Martin Employee Review

Pros

Missiles are small enough so that one can obtain a good understanding of their mission and how they work. They are more technology-intensive than most aerospace products.

Cons

The management is one of the most elitist and arrogant in the industry. The management generally doesn't respect subordinates. One gets a 'talk to the hand' treatment. There is a bit of the old Calvinist mentality where anyone perceived to fall short is regarded as a low-life and treated harshly. The overwhelming bulk of the management are Gen-Xers born between 1960-68, and have the cynical, nihilistic, brutal mentality that characterizes that generation. They are too conventional minded, relying on young, cheap labor. Expertise is not valued outside those who are established. It's becoming a place where if a non-managerial employee gets into middle-age, one has to justify one's existence. It has become a place where either you move up or you move out. Fear is beginning to set in with some. The office furnishings are also kind of dumpy. Brown walls and floors, giving a drab appearance. This is not a company that values employee well-being.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
